A green shirt on the last Friday of the month. A habit of sorting waste, repeated. A small garden cared for through the seasons. Simple as they seem, these actions, when sustained, become a natural part of school life.
At Einstein School Ho Chi Minh City (a member of EQuest Education Group), green living isn’t treated as a separate activity. It’s woven into daily routines, classrooms, and student experiences.
In class, environmental topics are integrated into subjects like Biology, Natural Science, and Local Studies, helping students better understand the world around them. Learning then extends into hands-on, recurring activities:
🟢 Green Day: A schoolwide green dress day on the last Friday of each month, creating a shared rhythm around sustainable living.
♻️ Waste sorting: Implemented in phases, helping students build conscious habits in handling waste.
🌱 “Greening the school garden”: Students plant, care for, and harvest their own clean vegetables.
Through these activities, students not only take part but also see the results of their actions, watching the school garden grow greener each season, and realizing that small daily choices can make a difference.
At Einstein School Ho Chi Minh City, a green lifestyle is nurtured not through slogans, but through real, everyday experiences. 💚
